filled to capacity...

That would be how I would describe my life right now. I don't think I could squeeze one more thing into my days. I'm feeling inadequate in my job right now as it is, so I know I just can't toss anything more into the pile. I've started my next Master's class, Educational Research. It is A LOT of work! I've never worked so hard on a paper in my life. I've spent hours and hours researching, typing, asking questions all while trying to be the best mother I can be to Kayah. She wins out sometimes and I have to step away from the work in order to have Mommy and Kayah time. In fact, I try to plan a couple days a week that are strictly Mommy and Kayah time...no school work or Master's work allowed. I LOVE those days so much! I especially love those days because I actually get to go to bed before midnight.

Anyway, there's so much to tell everyone about Kayah! She is growing so fast! She is learning so much! I just can't believe how much she is changing. Monday the 14th is Kayah's 5 month birthday! She rolls over from back to tummy now, but just can't quite figure out how to roll back. She is eating rice cereal now at night before bed. She does so well with the spoon. She is starting to babble like she's having a conversation with me. Also, her newest thing is she whines and squeaks when she wants something. Right now it's kinda cute, but that may not be so a year from now. Something else that is funny...Kayah is afraid of large, leafy plants! ha! Those of you that have been to my house know that I have very large Peace Lillies in my family room. Well, I was playing with Kayah while I was sitting on the couch one night and I held her clear up in the air. Right behind the couch is one of my huge plants. As I'm holding Kayah in the air I can feel her start to breath hard, so I look up at her and see she is staring straight at the plant and is starting to get that terrified look in her eyes. Next thing I know she's screaming at the top of her lungs. I've tried it out a few times since then and every time I hold her up to the plant she starts to breathe really hard. So, I'm trying to fix her phobia now. ha! We water the plant together and talk to the plant and pet the plant, all in hopes that she doesn't grow up with some weird phobia of plants! Oh, my little Kayah has quite the personality!
